(ch03s03) The file does not contain the all the FQDNs help-review

[RayL]

Hello,

I have a problem with the workshop ch03s03.

When i grade, i have one test who fail, the second one "Verifying the FQDNs of the workstation machine".

Here is the "my_task.txt" file i have :

workstation.lab.exemple.com
1735689600
Enforcing
man -t bash | lpr -Pps

The command is used to get the FQDN was hostname -A >> my_task.txt (i also tried with hostname --all-fqdns.

I dont understand why this test wont pass. I tried to delete "my_task.txt" and redo the workshop only with the solution and the result is the same, the test FAIL.

If you had this situation and got a solution, it will help me a lot.
Thank's

@RayL Please provide the course URL you are using for this CH03s03 in RH124 - I am unable to find this one in the RH124 course. Which course version are you using ?

@RayL Also looking at your file with the FQDN - there is a spelling mistake "exemple" instead it should be "example" . Remember that grading script is hardcoded to match things explicitly asked in the lab objective.

Hello, i'm trying the v10.

Thank you for spotting my typo in the word example. I'll try again with my brain activated

I'm facing the same issue

I cat my .txt file and the correct output is:

workstation.lab.example.com
1735689600
Enforcing
man -t bash | lpr -Pps

What helped me finish was verifying the /etc/hosts file and copying the output to the my_task.txt then my grading was successful.

@jalifedbren Thank you for reporting this! This is from v10 ch03s03.

It seems a bug to me where the grading script is hardcoded to match    "workstation.lab.example.com  workstation"  from the /etc/hosts file  whereas the lab steps told you to run hostname -A >> my_task.txt

Let me report this for rectification.

This is still broken as of 9/21/2025 in v10 ch03s03

hostname -A displays: workstation.lab.example.com

It does NOT display "workstation" after the FQDN but the grading script still fails the student if its missing "workstation" at the end.
